This isn’t gloom and doom. It’s an invitation to rise to the top of the home building industry during times of intense change.
“Disruption happens to all industries. Usually there are two contributing factors: One that necessitates change and another that propels it,” says renowned architect and building science expert Sam Rashkin in the prologue of his new book,A Builder Guide to Surviving Disruption.
The purpose of Rashkin’s new book is to offer builders step-by-step guidance on how to rethink their home building practices in a post-pandemic housing market. He calls the industry’s current state of affairs a three-for-one “deal”:
Global pandemic with runaway Covid-19
Global recession with U.S. unemployment levels exceeding the Great Depression
Global social justice uprising
